Why not to do well in the game

[Kallera]

Your friend did not obtain gil cap through AH manipulation and crafting. Not possible without either buying or selling with RMT'd gil. Hell, they even wrote on the Housing patch notes that if RMT gil is involved with your housing purchase, it will be confiscated.

Sorry, but even assuming the best about your friend and trusting he didn't buy gil, he put products up at ridiculous prices which only RMT funded characters could afford. It's his own fault.

Ok, why does market pricing have anything to do with stripping the Gil not related to the purchase? Why should using the AH be a economical death trap?

Because one of the ways RMT trades their gil is by putting items up for ridiculous amounts.

Please read the key word: RIDICULOUS I said that in my post you quoted too.

If you put up an item for 1 million+ gil, you're literally asking for it to be bought with RMT gil.
